AiResearch Energy Systems Applications of the 831 Series Gas Turbines Free

This paper discusses the commercial and industrial applications of the AiResearch Model 831 Turbopower Module. The 500-hp turbine is described with particular emphasis upon the functional and control characteristics that have gained for it an enviable place in the energy-conversion field. Accessory equipment such as exhaust heat exchangers, absorption chillers, and turbopowered compressors are described in sufficient detail to enable the reader to understand their operation. Three typical commercial and industrial applications are described with particular emphasis on illustrating the economic feasibility of these on-site turbopowered energy systems. The results of the successful application of turbo-powered energy systems are tabulated.
